MIR. Charles Reitler, one of the
most successful merchants in western
Kansas, who carries a thirty thous-
and dollar stock of goods at Kinsley,
was in Lamar last Tuesday and lras.

putting up, adjoining the land office.
Mr.. Reitler will put in a stock of dry

supply the demand of our town and
country. Our town is fortunate in
securing the location of such busi-

The malignity with which some
pursue their opposition to the Town
OF Lunar, is Ridiculous ~ well as re-
fre-hing to the residents thereof. A
report is now current in western
Kansas that the U. : Land Office
will be removed from Lamar to Las
Animas, on next Monday. There are
some people who believe this foolish
report because they saw it in the
Kansas City Times. We only won
der that respectable Journal would
give heed to such silly and nonsen-
steal stuff. Lamar and ITS Land
office is a fixed fact, and no amount
of opposition of its detracto,s can
possibly deprive it of the certain
success and prosperity that awaits
her future. Her property will not
dspriciate nor will the U s. Land
Office be removed to any place on the
continent, unless it be to Kansas
City, Mo, when Doctor Mumford
will no doubt succeed Frank Arbuck-
lie rs the Register of the Office. We
would, in the future, like something
more fresh tempered, with lit,le
consistency.
